Mebyon Kernow

Mebyon Kernow (MK) is a Cornish nationalist and social democratic political party in England that was founded on 6 January 1951. MK was founded as a pressure group in 1951, and Helena Charles was its first leader. During the 1970s, MK became a full-fledged political party, and it formed close ties with fellow Celtic separatist groups such as Plaid Cymru, the Scottish National Party, and the Breton Democratic Union. It was able to achieve a limited presence in local government.
